I have identified the genre, sub-genre and audience of the following films using the posters shown:
The Others
 |
| A poster of the film The Others (2001) |
Genre & Sub-genre:Psychological horror
The font of the title looks distorted and ghostly because of the white smudged effect, which gives the impression that the film has supernatural elements or a psychological genre. The darkness of the background and the use of colour black makes it clear that this is a horror film. The scared facial expression on the actress' face also adds to the horror genre, and they make this clearly obvious by using a close-up of her face as the main focus of the poster.
Target audience:
The rating of this film is 12+
However, it is mainly targeted at adults due to the fact that it is a scary film which wouldn't be appropriate for children. Also, because Nicole Kidman is starring in the film - she is an actress that usually targets the older and more mature audience.
KEY NOTE: This film has inspired me to make our film opening in the genre of a psychological thriller.

Harry Potter
Deathly Hallows Part 1
Genre & Sub-genre:Adventure Fantasy
The
font of the title looks very wizard-like and magical, which gives the impression that the film has a fantasy genre. The mystical/foggy
background and the setting of the eerie forest makes it clear that this is a fanasy film. The movement of the characters on the poster indicates that the film has an adventure element, it looks as if they are going to have an unusual and exciting experience. Overall, the poster makes the film looks very unatural feel/look to it, which adds to the fantasy genre. Target audience:
The rating of this film is 12+
However, it is mainly targeted at young adults of both gender. This is clearly shown from looking at the characters (on the poster) as they look young and relatable to teenagers. Also, because the male character, Harry, is the main focus of the poster, it could perhaps suggest that young teenage girls would be more atractted to the this type of film.
